Notes:
All of the pieces are here, but you can listen to the recording to make sure you get the 
timing on everything, strum pattern, etc. 
In the charts below each measure "|  |" counts for 4 beats
unless preceded by a time signature change. 
Repeats indicate how many times to repeat an entire passage. 
% designation tells how many times to play the preceding measure
after that measure has already been played.
Example: | A | % x3 | is the equivalent to 4 measures of A, 
whereas ||: A | B :|| x3 is saying to play 6 measures total | A | B | A | B | A | B |

-----------------------------------------------------------------

[Verse 1]
E             A           B                E
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
E                   A             B            E
Where the old world shadows hang, heavy in the air
E              A                 B          E
She packed her hopes and dreams, like a refugee
E           A            B          E    Esus4
Just as her father came, across the sea

[Verse 2]
E         A              B           E
She heard about a place, people were smiling
E              A                 B          E
Spoke about the red man's ways, how they loved the land
E              A                 B          E
They came from everywhere, to the Great Divide
E              A                 B          E Esus4
Seeking a place to stand, or a place to hide

[Verse 3]
E              A                 B          E
Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time
E              A                 B          E
Can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there
E              A                 B          E
They called it paradise, I don't know why
E              A                 B          E Esus4
Somebody laid the mountains low, while the town got high

[Verse 4]
E              A                 B          E
When the chilly winds blew down, across the canyon
E              A                 B          E
Through the canyons of the coast, to the malibus
E              A                 B          E
Where the pretty people played, hungry for power
E              A                 B          E Esus4
To light their neon ways, give 'em things to do

[Verse 5]
E              A                 B          E
Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught him
E              A                 B          E
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus people bought them
E              A                 B          E
They called it paradise, the place to be
E              A                 B          E Esus4
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

[Verse 6]
G                C           D          G
You can leave it all behind, sail to Lahaina
G                    C          D              G
Just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
G                   C          D             G
They even brought a neon sign, Jesus is Coming
G                       C            D                       G    Gsus4
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign

[Verse 7]
    G                 C             D                 G
And we'll provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine
G                       C             D                      G
'cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
G                        C          D                    G
We satisfied our endless needs, and justified our bloody deeds
G              C            D              G Gsus4
In the name of destiny, and in the name of God

[Verse 8]
G                    C      D         G
And you can see them there, on Sunday morning
G            C           D                 G
Stand up and sing about, what it's like up there
G              C         D            G
They called it paradise, I don't know why
G                 C         D           G Gsus4
To call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye
